Three approaches for your situation
Preventive
Homes, hotels, rentals: targeted treatment of risk areas for lasting protection, ideal between two seasons.
Chemical
Insecticides and a growth regulator that act on the insect’s nervous system. Targeted action in two visits.
Thermal
Extreme cold (−40 °C), high-temperature steam and a natural geraniol-based insecticide: every life stage is killed, with no possible resistance.
Preparing your home
Good preparation is part of a successful treatment. I send you a detailed checklist before the visit.
- Wash sheets, covers and clothes at 60 °C or tumble-dry them hot.
- Seal clean laundry in closed bags.
- Declutter around beds and vacuum, then throw the bag away sealed.
- Don’t move mattresses or furniture to another room.
How much does bed bug treatment cost?
Chemical treatment costs from €299 (0–40 m²) to €449 (80–120 m²). Thermal treatment costs €499 to €599 depending on the area. Above 120 m², a personalised quote is provided. Diagnosis, two visits, travel and a 6-month guarantee are included.
How do I know if I have bed bugs?
Bites in a line when you wake up, small black spots or blood stains on sheets, shed skins and white eggs in mattress seams. In the Chamonix valley, the flow of visitors through chalets and holiday rentals helps them spread.
Why are two visits needed?
Bed bug eggs resist insecticides. The second visit, 15 days after the first, kills newly hatched nymphs before they can breed.
What is the difference between chemical and thermal treatment?
Chemical treatment combines insecticides and a growth regulator in two visits. Thermal shock combines extreme cold (−40 °C), high-temperature steam and a natural geraniol-based insecticide: more effective but more expensive, recommended for severe infestations or sensitive occupants.
How should I prepare my home?
Wash sheets, covers and clothes at 60 °C or tumble-dry them hot, then seal them in closed bags. Declutter around beds, vacuum and throw the bag away sealed. Do not move mattresses or furniture to another room. I send you a detailed checklist before the visit.
Do I need to leave during treatment?
During chemical treatment and for a few hours afterwards, yes, while products dry and rooms are aired. I tell you the exact time for your treatment.
Are bed bugs dangerous?
They are not known to transmit disease, but their bites cause itching, skin reactions and poor sleep, and sometimes real distress.
Do you come out in emergencies?
Yes, I come out 7 days a week for bed bugs, especially for holiday rentals between two stays.
